I don't know about first innings scores but this series is definitely up there as one of the most dissapointing. Probably not as bad as the Bangladesh one but our team looked promising a month ago and now we've been reduced to this.

Nope. Have watched them all. Can't remember a more pathetic effort. The soft dismissals. The timidness. The lack of planning. It was all there.

Onto another topic, jeez, Parore is still looking good. Could still be out there.

In the last 5 years since I started watching again this is the worst. I am sure we have been dismissed for less - I remember a few failures in that tri series against SL and India. Those didn't bother me as much because we just failed. The whole strategy here was just as DOG says timidity personified. Only CDG asserted himself. And then in the end he looked outclassed against Steyn.

McCullum is exempted he played well

Nicol's inning in particular was unacceptable.

I got great enjoyment shouting "WHY THE **** ISN'T THIS GAME BEING PLAYED AT THE BASIN?!>!?!?" to reasonably significant cheers from the sparse crowd

one day NZ will bring chappell to his knees in a puddle of his own tears and you'll see Phlegm on his belly greedily tasting every delicious tear before watching the hope fade from that old ****s eyes.

This is where we want an old Eden Park pitch with no bounce that's low and slow IMO. They don't produce the best cricket, but they would give us the best chance of beating SA with our medium pacers and slow bowlers.

Why produce these hard pitches with good bounce. It's just playing into their hands I tend to think.

Preparing green tops for tests is ok feels funny preparing pitches that favour us for ODIs.

Just watching Amla - I don't think the ball is coming on perfectly. But he is dealing with it well.
